Man shoots himself with full auto Glock

[Kenny474]

Guy is shooting a full auto Glock with a vertical grip on the light rail. Ends up shooting himself, and not really by being careless.

Might be a dupe.

A pistol with a forward grip is an AOW.

What does AOW stand for? Any other weapon? Just curious.

 

[WaldoOneFive]

Wicked old, but still funny as it was new! lol.

He didn't act like he was in much pain after shooting a hole through his hand.

 

[ShadeWPI]

A Full-Auto Glock (Glock model 18) is a non-transferable Machine Gun (There are none old enough to be transferable)

Any pistol with a vertical handgrip is an AOW (Any Other Weapon) as the BATFE has declared that the vertical handgrip violates the "intended for use in one hand" criteria for a pistol.

In addition, I believe a vertical handgrip is a qualifying feature under MA's Semi-Automatic Assault Weapons Ban definition of a SAAW Pistols.

happens a lot with traumatic injuries. the brain shuts a lot of stuff - like pain- out, until the brain recognizes that the body is safe, or dying. it's pretty weird.

In my travels I find lots of people for whom this is a permanent condition...

In the video description it states that the Glock is a converted model 17, not a true model 18.

I have no idea about it being legal, just thought it sucked that the guy put a hole in his hand. I wouldn't want to do it, that's for sure!

What was the target on,a bungee cord?

 

[Larry Legend]

Thankfully it was just HIS hand, and not a more vital body part.

 

[dwarven1]

Looks like the forward grip broke off, and the recoil put the gun back far enough that he shot his left hand.

 

[Fixxah]

Stupid prizes?

Yup, if you stop it at :37 in you can see the grip in this left hand, then he drops it on the floor. That is definitely going to leave a mark, ouch.

A semi pistol with a forward grip would be an AOW a Full auto pistol with with any kind of grip or but stock is A machine gun.

Yep... this guy's brain was definitely shut off.

 

[DickWanner]

It was probably a rental at some shop and they decided to use a cheap airsoft verticle grip or the grip wasn't attached right. I don't think there's any accuracy or controlability difference between using a verticle grip and not, so I don't know why they just wouldn't shoot it like a regular pistol. Hard to classify this one as inexperience, lack of judgement/knowledge, or just bad luck.

I don't know if I would blame the guy, unless he knew the grip was a POS and was jimmy rigged onto the weapon.

 

[crazymjb]

I agree. Clearly it wasn't his gun (the gentleman next to him was showing him how to put it on F/A), so how the heck was he supposed to know the VFG was going to snap off?

That pistol was kicking fairly hard. I would guess that it was no 9mm? 45?? Does anyone know?

 

[Bill Nance]

Didn't look to me like the guy necessarily did anything wrong.

Im guessing just a glock 17 with a fssg switch.

 

[George D]

Back when this first got posted, the gun's owner (guy on the right) said he had fired it many times with no issues. He let a novice try it and he limp wristed it with his right hand and snapped the grip off, shooting a clean hole in his left hand.

I have a stock made in Austria for my G18; no muzzle flip. Ripping thru a mag on the line at Knob Creek

And then I became an advertising model

'Cause this way it looks badass, man!!

I know what jury-rigging and jerry-rigging is, but WTF is "jimmy rigged"? Is that when Jerry Lewis tries to be a gunsmith?

 

[Supermoto]

The shooter was pulling forward with his weak hand and back with his strong, add to that a frame that flexes a lot, and you get a grip that will come off.

That looks really fun to rip rounds through! The stock must make it a lot easier to control when shooting full auto.

 

[groundscrapers]

I would like to have a rip on a g18 in a hera arms stock.

 

[JackDaniels]

I can't imagine putting a vertical grip on a full auto pistol and thinking it was a good idea.
